Local Customs & Etiquette
Dress modestly when away from the beach, as swimwear should be reserved strictly for the seaside and pool areas.
Greetings are important in Grenada, so expect a friendly 'good morning' or 'good afternoon' when entering shops or interacting with locals.
Avoid taking photographs of locals, especially children, without first asking for their explicit permission.
Be mindful of the island's relaxed pace of life, often referred to as 'island time,' and remain patient with service speeds.
Refrain from using camouflage clothing, as it is illegal for civilians to wear military-patterned gear in Grenada.
Safety Tips
Stick to well-lit and populated areas, particularly after dark, and avoid walking alone on isolated beaches at night.
Keep your valuables, such as passports and extra cash, in a hotel safe rather than carrying them around during your daily excursions.
Use only officially licensed taxis that display red 'H' or 'HA' license plates to ensure reliable and safe transportation.
Exercise caution when swimming at beaches with strong undertows or lack of lifeguards, and always heed local warnings about water conditions.
Stay hydrated and use high-SPF sunscreen to protect against the strong tropical sun, especially during mid-day hours.
